50 ml apple juice

30 ml White wine

2 tbsp Sugar

1 tbsp 1 ea Lemon juice

Dough

150 g white flour

25 g Sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

½ Package Egg substitute

(approx. 7 g)

1 knife tip of turmeric

1 Lemon

a little grated zest

½ Vanilla bean

Seeds scraped out

250 ml Almond or oat drink

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

50 g aquafaba

10 g Icing sugar

½ Package Whipping cream stabiliser

(approx. 4 g)

25 ml Carbonated water

Emperor's Pancake

2 tbsp margarine

1 tbsp Sugar or icing sugar

Rum raisins

Place the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover and leave to marinate for at least one hour or overnight.

Apple sauce

Add apples and all remaining ingredients to a pan, cover and bring to the boil over medium to high heat (level 7-8). Reduce heat to low (level 2-4) and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Blend the apple mixture with a hand blender into a smooth applesauce, then leave it covered to cool. 

Dough

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and egg substitute in a bowl. Add lemon zest, vanilla seeds, almond drink and apple cider vinegar, and whisk into a smooth batter. Whisk the aquafaba with the hand mixer beaters until frothy. Mix icing sugar and whipped cream stabiliser, gradually add to the aquafaba, and continue whisking until the mixture forms peaks. Add sparkling water to the dough and mix carefully. Carefully fold the aquafaba foam into the batter.

Emperor's pancake

Heat half of the margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat (level 7). Add the Kaiserschmarrn batter, bake for approx. 2 minutes. Distribute rum raisins without liquid on the dough, continue baking for about 5 minutes until the dough is golden brown and detaches from the pan bottom. Turn the dough carefully, bake for approximately 7 minutes until done. Tear the Kaiserschmarrn in the pan into bite-sized pieces using two spatulas. Add the remaining margarine and let it melt. Sprinkle sugar on top, caramelise while turning regularly. Serve shredded pancake with apple sauce.

Tips

Always use spatulas made of wood or heat-resistant plastic with coated frying pans.
